Question
**Problem 6:** Draw the resonance structures for the following compound.

**a)** Structure shows a carbonyl group with an oxygen anion. The compound has a ketone with an additional single bond to an oxygen, which bears a negative charge and two lone pairs.

**b)** Structure depicts a carbocation on a branched carbon chain, indicating a positive charge on the second carbon atom from the left.

**c)** Structure similar to (b) but with a different branching pattern, showing a carbocation at the third carbon atom from the left.

**d)** Structure includes a nitrogen atom bonded to two hydrogen atoms, forming an ammonium ion. The nitrogen has a positive charge and one lone pair.

**e)** Structure shows a benzene ring with alternating single and double bonds, representing the classic aromatic structure.

Each of these drawings represents potential resonance forms or related structures given the prompts, showcasing the movement of electrons within the compounds.
